((For the normal commentary, scroll past the mortem. I felt creative.))

Agent Victor Delacroix, CIA. "Escher", they call me. How'd I get assigned to the ass end of the Earth sphere? Might have somethin' to do with me sleeping with the boss's wife. And his sister. Not at once, mind you. If I did that they'd have sent me to Jersey instead.

Even I've got my limits.

Now, I'm no soldier, but when I heard the base was under attack, I figured I'd see what I could do to help. Worst case, I survive and I'm stuck on this godforsaken rock for a few more years. For some reason, some guy was calling for Jake, figured that scrawny shit from the Bureau would be able to help. Trouble is, he'd already taken the last shuttle home to "file a report". Yeah, I call BS.

Whatever. So there I go, marching right into the base, and there's Barry right inside the front door. Now, Barry was never the sharpest tool in the shed, but he looked even dumber than normal. Then he sees me, and what's he do? The prick shoots at me - badly, of course, he never was much of a marksman. I return the favor, but I do it right. Going through the base, it's more of the same. Guys I recognize (and quite a few I don't) trying to kill me, with these pointy brown bastards lobbing fire at me for support. It's the same thing, over and over, only the brown bastards got bigger later. Things were looking up at the Class M restricted area, found one of those prototype plasma pistols the army's been working on. Can't believe they got the thing working. Found some upgrades at this... factory, different from the rest of the base though. Found another "blaster" there, not that I needed a second.

Now, that makes it a lot easier. They start dropping faster, and I start learning how they move, how they fight. So they switch it up on me. Found some stairs at what I thought was the end of the base. Figured I'd take a look, and what do I see? The gates of Hell. Yeah, I know, you've heard it before - records of people at Normandy, several thousand housefires, and so on. No, I mean the literal gates of Hell. And two of the toughest bastards I've ever seen guarding them.

So I killed them and went through the gate. See if Hell's any worse than what I've already gone through. Turns out, not so much... until it hit me that the factory earlier? It was a demon base.

So, with that in mind, decided to make damn sure I cleaned the place out.

Sometimes, I wake up and I hear them laughing. Just my imagination, I'm sure...

 28 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 18 of those were killed.
 3 didn't read the thermonuclear bomb manual.

 7 souls destroyed the Cyberdemon...
 7 killed the bastard and survived.

I had the supplies. I should've searched for the red pillar, set up the nuke, Lava'd just before it went off, then overcharged the nuclear plasma rifle to kill JC at the last second of invulnerability. It gives three seconds, I might have been able to pull it off... not certain though.

Found two blasters, and two assault shotguns. Strange.

MSs and a high power blaster is retardedly strong. Seriously. Viles down in five hits, Revs in two.

The lava element won't let you nuke both of them and survive. Nuclear weapon overcharges have a countdown.

Nice work! You seem to have a thing for high power blasters. I would, too... if any of my Marksmen ever found any.

They do? I always thought it was instant.

Must just be the Trigun, then.

In a Sharpshooter game especially, there's almost nothing better. Even if you had a unique pistol, the HP Blaster would be helpful since it can break walls (about four shots does it) - more controlled than the Jackal since you know it'll only break one, it doesn't destroy items, and never needs to be reloaded. I was firing it in about 0.25s by the end there, and the ammo still never went down. Also, plasma damage is resisted far less often than bullets - Revenants are particularly vulnerable to it.

Besides which, the probably-superior options - Beretta and Trigun - are far more rare. The Jackal is good, but not for constant use. Don't want to blow up the ammo and armor you need, after all.
